Ballroom Dancing and a day off

Last night I had my very first ballroom dancing class. I've never seen a group of guys that nervous before. They were like cute little robots. I'm going to try really hard to stick with this class. It's late at night, but some of the social graces might be useful. We've learned the first few steps of swing dancing so far. I've managed to gracefully trip over my own feet a few times. They have us all dancing in socks so at least we can't crush each other's feet too badly. I need to get some shoes though, my feet hurt too much from dancing on wood all night. I miss my super padded running shoes that I wear as everyday sneakers!

Well, today is my day off of work. I've got 4 hours of school and that's it. I have a lot of things I want to get done this morning, but I don't think that they'll all happen. I was hoping to get two days of homework done, run to the store, spend time talking to David, and do 150 other things. I might settle for a bit of homework and talking to David. Although I did want to go to the store and buy some ground beef, some tomato paste, some dish soap, and whatever else I become attached to when there. Maybe a box of Kix cereal. I've had a craving for that recently.

Sometime this week/weekend I want to try making korv strogonoff. I guess that means I should buy an onion too. I have some hot dogs, which is the closest thing to falukorv I know of. I don't even know what tomato paste would look like here! My mom has informed me that strogonoff is NOT red and should not have tomatoes in it. I don't really care, I want to make it the Swedish way because I like that!

I'm amazed right now at my lack of free time. I wake up in the morning, check my email, study a bit, talk to David for maybe an hour if he's home, then head to school. I go to school/work for a few hours, run home for lunch, run back to school for more classes/work, run home for dinner/clothes change, then back to school again. Then home again. By the time I take a shower, make and eat dinner, and try to pick up the mess a bit it's my bedtime or past. I go to bed, try to finish a few chapters in whatever literature we'll be covering in class the next day, then sleep until morning. Then I wake up and repeat! My life is boring! *cry* :)

But then... then we have Thursdays! I am free until 12:30 when my first class starts. :) It's like Tuesday but without work!
